As Karl-Anthony Towns pushes for a title, many Timberwolves fans aren't watching with regret. They're watching with pride.
For those who backed KAT through nine seasons in Minnesota, this moment feels validating.

Josh Bell had his first SB since Sept. 27, 2018 tonight
Bell went 978 games in between, the longest streak by a batter in between two stolen bases since at least 1900

Rudy Gobert is an all-time great defender. To do this against one of the greatest offensive scorers we'll ever see is genuinely amazing. Somehow, at age 33, a 4-time DPOY is better than he's ever been. What a legend.
He was using drugs between holes at Augusta National. Contemplating suicide for two decades. Couldn't walk into rehab without help. Today he just beat two of the best golfers alive. One of, if not the greatest sports comeback stories of all time:
Anthony Kim. Father. Husband. Three-time PGA Tour winner before age 25 - alongside only Tiger, Phil, Sergio, and Adam Scott.
Then his Achilles ruptured in 2012. He vanished, for twelve years.
He was battling drug and alcohol addiction daily. Using during majors. Making bathroom stops between holes just to get through the round. Contemplating ending his life for almost two decades while the world thought he was living the dream.
His body eventually shut down. He could barely walk into rehab. His wife Emily and daughter Bella pulled him back.
He got a second chance with LIV Golf in 2024. Finished dead last. Didn't earn a single point in two full seasons. Got relegated from the league in August.
Most people would've quit. He showed up every single day and worked to get 1% better after being cut from the league.
He earned his spot back through a qualifying tournament on pure merit.
Today, in the final round at LIV Adelaide, playing alongside Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm - two of the biggest names in golf - he came back from a 5-shot starting deficit and has just shot nine under to win the golf tournamnet.
This man was ready to leave this earth. Now he just did the unthinkable. If that doesn't prove you can come back from anything, nothing will.
It's never too late.
